REVC coaches have strict rules regarding when you must arrive before a tournament. It is the players and parent s responsibility to know this policy, and adhere to it. Arriving late to a

7 tournament may affect playing time. The practice before a tournament the coaches will specify when players need to be at the tournament. 5. Rides should be at the gym no later than 5 minutes after the scheduled conclusion of practice. 6.
